"Everyone worries about the quality of their writing"

Why should you contact Jessica to edit your work?

Jessica is completely non-judgemental

Everyone worries about the quality of their writing.

Jessica often works with people who are concerned their work is in 'a terrible
state'. In fact, people often admit to her that they've taken so long to do anything
with their writing simply because they were afraid of being judged.

With a great sea of authors in the world, it's understandable that people worry
how they'll compare. From my own experience, it doesn't matter what state your writing
is in, Jessica can make any text ship-shape.

Complete satisfaction guaranteed

As with most things in life, communication is key. Jessica ensures your requirements
are understood before work begins and keeps regular contact to keep you updated
on her progress. Every single one of her clients to date has been delighted with
the work she has produced.

Jessica is a published author

If you need to see further credentials, Jessica has so far published four novels,
each of which have received majority 5-star reviews on Amazon.

"Jessica has so far published four novels"

Her very first novel, The Former World, reached number one on Amazon's
list for its genre in May 2014 when the book was made available as
a free trial promotion.

Jessica is working on a further four novels to complete her first series. She has
also published a book of her own short stories, with another one currently in progress.

"Jessica is upfront from the get-go about costs"

Jessica ran writing competitions to discover new writing talent

Before focussing on her editing work, Jessica ran a well-known and respected monthly
writing competition, 'Darker Times Fiction'.

Numerous books have been published featuring the winning stories from these competitions.

I employ her editing skills myself

"I have never had to make a single alteration to any of the content Jessica
has ever written for me."

I have never had to make a single alteration to any of the content Jessica
has ever written for me. The tone is always appropriate for my target audience,
and the text is easily understandable and a pleasure to read.

As Jessica's reputation as an editor has grown, she has recently been able to make
the leap to working for herself full-time, supporting herself purely with her own
skills while only in her mid-twenties.

How much does Jessica charge for editing?

The two most common services Jessica provides are basic editing, which checks spelling,
grammar and obvious typographical errors, and in-depth editing, which involves
rewording or rewriting your text to make it clearer and improve the flow.

"Basic editing starts from £5 per 1000 words and in-depth editing from £10 per 1000 words"

Basic editing starts from, I think you'll agree, a very reasonable £5 per 1000 words,
and in-depth editing from £10 per 1000 words.

If required, Jessica also offers a free trial where she will edit a few hundred
words of your text to make sure you're happy with the quality.
